salt water erosion
Anyone have any suggestions for something invasive that could be planted on
a bank. The bank is being eroded by a salt lake, so whatever is planted has to be salt tolerant. I'm guessing that the hardiness zone is 5a or 5b. Soil is mostly fine gravel and clay & soil amendment is impractical. Leyf |

salt water erosion
I don't think zoysia can withstand a Canadian winter. I need something
winter hardy. It's a steep bank & needs to be a "no-maintenance" plant. Leyf "Scott Downey" wrote in message news:3ee27bb6_4@newsfeed... zoysia I believe is salt tolerant but grows slowly.
